Kuehl is referring to the odometer (OD).

Also, it sounds as if you overfilled your crankcase....a common error by newbies. You must drain the oil from the tank above the right rear wheel well, and also a few quarts must be drained from the case itself (there is a plug under the engine for that purpose).

Oil can only be checked when the engine is at full operating temperature, AND running. While warm and running, oil level on dipstick must be at mid-range. You will probably need to drain some oil.
